In 1997 Vico Magistretti was contacted by Bernardo Caprotti, founder of Esselunga S.p.A., and asked to design/build two superstores for the brand: one in Pantigliate and another in San Donato (which was never built).

At the inauguration of the Pantigliate superstore the following year Magistretti was asked by Caprotti to develop the design concept of the new bar/coffee shop "Bar Atlantique" in the Esselunga superstores. The first one was built in Pantigliate and more than a dozen were built in the superstores in northern Italy before 2018.
